Chad Eddy of Niverville has recently published his first book, Remember the Gospel. Eddy has been a speaker for more than 15 years and spoken to crowds at Sunday morning services, retreats, and Bible studies.
“I spent over a decade in pastoral ministry and I have many friends who have struggled with, or even walked away from, their faith, for reasons that have nothing to do with the essential message of Jesus, what we call the gospel,” says Eddy. “I’ve found that there are many peripheral issues in Christianity that can trip us up, distract us, and cause us to doubt. I want to bring people back to the gospel again and again, and that’s the heart of this book.”
Eddy self-published the book, which was released this past February. “In 2015, I joined a challenge to accomplish one big goal in 100 days, and I decided to finally write my first book. After I was finished with the initial draft… I found an editor to help polish it up. The whole process from beginning to having the book in my hand took one year.”
The target audience for this book is young men who have grown sceptical of their Christian faith. Eddy wants to write more books in the future, and one day a novel.
“You need to be proactive,” says Eddy to aspiring authors. “If you have something to say, write it out! There are so many mediums, formats, and opportunities to write, whether you keep a blog, guest post on other peoples’ blogs, submit articles to well-known websites, or publish a book. You never know who you’re going to inspire, or who’s going to pick up what you’ve written.”
Although Eddy did not have an official launch for Remember the Gospel, he will be at Capo Coffee Lounge in Nivervilleon Friday, July 28, to read sections of his book and sign copies. The book is available at Hulls Books in Steinbach and Winnipeg, as well as on Amazon.
